Hi, I'm Alice von Simson. Today, I'm gonna show you how to find your perfect lip shade. Now, Bobbi Brown once said if she could give people one piece of advice about finding lipstick, it's to find a shade that looks beautiful on you when you have no makeup on at all. So, to find your lower lip shade, you're going to have to, first off, think about your skin tone. And, you're gonna want to go one to two shades darker than your natural lip color. Now, people with paler skin should stick with kind of cooler tones, and people with darker skin can go for the warmer, you know, yellows, brick reds, things like that. Another little tip to find your color family is to pull down your lower lip and to take a peak at the color of the skin inside there. That's gonna be about where you want to be with your lip color, and it's gonna let you know whether a cool or a warm tone is gonna suit you better.
